sewed 92 LA 92-1039 These financial records would, in essence, be composed of payments made by the Fontainbleu to SINATRA which have been denied by SINATRA. On a confidential basis locally, it has been learned that the Intelligence Division of IRS, Los Angeles, has been requested within the past several weeks by their National Headquarters, to investigate this particular aspect with apparent instructions to send the necessary personnel to Miami in order to complete this particular phase. Mr. THOMAS SHERIDAN, identified previously, in this connection on an extremely confidential basis, made MC MILLANs filo available for review and_he does not desire either MC MILLAN or the Department to be aware of this. Mr. SHERIDAN advised that the file had been left in his possession for analysis as he, SHERIDAN, will be returning to the Hashington area in the near future and be asked to comment on the material contained therein. A review of this file reflects that Mr. MC MILLAN has apparently carefully compiled all references to SINATRA and his relationship to hoodlums that have been available to the Department from the FBI, IRS and other agencies. It was also noted in reading the file that there is an apparent violation on the part of SINATRA of Title 18, Section 1001 involving an affidavit given to Special Agent VERNON LYNCH, IRS, Los Angeles, in 1959 wherein SINATRA denies the presence of SAMUEL GIANOANA at the Claridge Hotel in July and August, 1959.

Q. Approximately when did you first meet Mr. Giancana?  A. March 11, I think, 1958.
